According to a new Gallup poll released this week, nurses remain the most trusted profession in America, closely followed by pharmacists and doctors. About 84 percent of respondents reported having " very high " or " high " trust in nurses, about 73 percent said the same about pharmacists, and 70 percent about doctors.

That's nice to know. There is so much stuff in the press about malpractice and

medical fraud and abuse that I sometimes worry that the general public thinks we

are all rich and mostly out to get richer.---Sharlene

I think it’s interesting the general public trusts nurses more

than doctors. I agree, I thought it would be higher for docs, and don’t know

why its not higher for pharmacists either.

I don't think Medicare sees doctors as " most trustworthy "

Gave a talk last week at City Club & asked how many in the audience

felt doctors were rich & greedy. Only 2 out of 100 raised their hands.

I used a few stand-up comedy techniques when discussing medicare.

wild being in control when 100 people would laugh.
